[quote name='scardella' post='1902034' date='Jun 26 2009, 08:00 AM']You do realize that if you become a priest you are subject to the orders of your bishop, right?

Methinks this desire is rather unrealistic.[/quote]

If I were to be ordained a priest, I would be a member of the [url="http://www.institute-christ-king.org/home/"]Institute of Christ the King[/url] or the [url="http://www.fssp.org/"]Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter[/url]. Both of these priestly groups in full communion with the Pope celebrate the extraordinary form of the Mass exclusively.

Priests of these two groups are invited into the diocese by the bishop for the purpose of celebrating the extraordinary form of the Mass.

Thank you.

I am not even sure that I want to become a priest, though.

Well, we need holy priests, holy brothers and holy dads. Pick your choice

[quote name='VeniteAdoremus' post='1901985' date='Jun 26 2009, 04:55 AM']We also have two words for "the": "de" for gendered and "het" for neuter words. And also two words for both "this" and "that" ("dit" & "deze", "die" & "dat"), also for gendered and neuter. Bit like Latin

I don't even know how to pronounce Dutch!

Actually, Italian over Spanish and Portuguese.

I like your attitude. Most people who push vocations stop at the first.

That anti-Christ only leads souls to hell. The last of the true faith lies in the sacred teachings of Russia's glorious Old Believers. Come join us or accecpt your place in the fires.

*drags out soapbox*

By equating the idea of "vocation" with (m) "vocation to the priesthood" and (f) "vocation to the religious life", people are almost forced to forget that every person has a vocation, and there is nothing higher you can achieve than finding and following it.

Through presenting such a narrow set of options, in which only a very small part of the population fits, you give people an excuse to stop trying to find God's will for them at every moment - which ironically means that those who [i]do[/i] have a vocation to the priesthood, but not one that's very obvious to them, might get lost or severely delayed, with all the trauma that comes from swimming against the stream for years without knowing it.

"If you are what you should be you will set the world on FIRE," quoth St. Catherine of Siena, and she should know.

*pushes soapbox back*
